What is the AYON Body Contouring System?
AYON is an all-in-one body-contouring platform from Apyx Medical in Clearwater, Florida, with FDA 510(k) clearance granted in 2025 [1]. One console combines ultrasound-assisted liposuction, Renuvion skin tightening, and fat transfer [1]. Snatched Plastic Surgery offers it - with one important note: published information comes from the manufacturer and early-adopting clinics; independent peer-reviewed outcome data has not been published yet.
What’s in the system
Five tools share a single console. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction breaks up and removes fat. Renuvion - helium plasma plus radiofrequency energy - contracts tissue under the skin for tightening [1]. A closed-loop system harvests fat and prepares it for transfer elsewhere on the body [1]. Electrocoagulation controls bleeding [1], and LIFT Technology lets the surgeon make real-time adjustments during the procedure [1]. The initial FDA 510(k) clearance covers Renuvion for loose or lax skin, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and electrocoagulation - with power liposuction planned for a later clearance [1].
What it’s designed to do
The concept is a single workflow that removes fat, shapes the body, tightens the skin, and transfers fat - without switching between separate devices mid-procedure [1]. The manufacturer says that streamlining means less device-switching, shorter procedure time, and better precision [1]. It’s marketed directly to post-GLP-1 patients with loose skin after weight loss - Apyx’s CEO cites more than 15 million GLP-1 users as the driver of demand [1]. Commercial launch with key surgeons started in the second half of 2025 [1].
What the evidence actually shows
Everything published about AYON so far comes from two places: Apyx’s own press materials and announcements from clinics that adopted it early. No independent peer-reviewed outcome data on AYON was found in 2024–2026 sources. So claims about better results than other devices, or faster procedures, are the manufacturer’s claims - not proven facts. The system is FDA-cleared and new, but neither fact proves it works better than other devices - a distinction worth understanding before you book.
Who it’s aimed at
Loose skin is the target condition. Patients who have lost a lot of weight - including post-GLP-1 patients - often have skin that won’t tighten on its own, which is the gap Renuvion is cleared for: loose or lax skin [1]. If your main issue is stubborn fat with good skin elasticity, standard liposuction may be all you need. If lax skin is part of the picture, a platform that pairs fat removal with tightening in one session is what AYON is designed for [1].
Where it’s showing up
Apyx has been promoting AYON to surgeons: the company showcased it at Miami Swim Week 2026 [2]. Trade coverage has described it as a platform aimed at the loose-skin problem, the gap most liposuction technologies leave open [3]. Commercial launch with select surgeons started in the second half of 2025, and adoption is still early - which is exactly why the published evidence so far comes from the manufacturer rather than independent studies [1].
What to ask at Snatched
Snatched Plastic Surgery offers the AYON Body Contouring System, and a consultation is the way to find out if it fits your case. Worth asking: Is AYON right for what I’m trying to fix, or would standard liposuction do the job? What does the skin-tightening step add for me specifically? What’s recovery like compared to lipo alone? And what’s the plan if the skin-tightening step under-delivers?
Frequently asked questions
Is AYON FDA approved?
It received FDA 510(k) clearance in 2025 - that’s clearance, not the drug-style approval most people picture - according to Plastic Surgery Practice’s coverage [1]. The clearance covers Renuvion for loose or lax skin, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and electrocoagulation [1]. Power liposuction is planned for a later clearance [1].
What does AYON actually do?
It combines five tools in one console: ultrasound-assisted liposuction, Renuvion (helium plasma plus radiofrequency) for skin tightening, closed-loop fat harvesting and transfer, electrocoagulation, and real-time LIFT adjustments [1]. It’s made by Apyx Medical Corporation in Clearwater, Florida [1].
Is it proven to work better than other devices?
Not yet, based on current evidence. No independent peer-reviewed outcome data on AYON was found in 2024–2026 sources; what’s published comes from the manufacturer and adopting clinics. The device is FDA-cleared [1], but superiority claims are the manufacturer’s until independent studies say otherwise.
Who is AYON designed for?
It’s marketed toward post-GLP-1 weight-loss patients with loose skin - Apyx’s CEO cites more than 15 million GLP-1 users as the demand driver [1]. If lax skin is part of your concern, not just stubborn fat, that is what AYON is designed for [1].
How is AYON different from getting liposuction and skin tightening separately?
The difference is workflow, not necessarily outcome. Traditionally, fat removal and skin tightening meant separate devices, sometimes separate sessions - the surgeon would switch consoles mid-procedure or book a second appointment. AYON puts ultrasound-assisted lipo, Renuvion tightening, and fat transfer on one console in one session [1]. Whether that consolidation produces better results than the separate-device approach has not been tested head-to-head - the honest advantage, for now, is convenience and a single recovery.
Where can I get it done?
Apyx showcased the system at Miami Swim Week 2026 [2], and trade press has covered it as a loose-skin platform [3]. Adoption is still early. In Miami, Snatched Plastic Surgery offers the AYON Body Contouring System - book a consultation to discuss whether it fits your goals.
